Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Everyone lived, Talladega took its revenge on Harvick for the bullshit from last fall, and A Good Driver won. I'm satisfied.

Even got some Busch Bullshit ®, so that was fun too.

On a related note, has anybody in NASCAR history found the inside wall on the backstretch of a plate track more often in history than Danica Patrick? That's at least the third time I can remember (Duel, July NXS race, today) and it's a scary hit every drat time.

So that was a fun race and I dug it. Weirdest part of the day was getting nailed in the stomach by a lugnut on one of the restarts while standing in the infield. I have no idea where it came from.

... So now you see he five lugnut rule is dangerous cause it could shoot more lugnuts at people.

You can't be serious.
I saw something today that blew my mind. I went to the ARCA Midwest race at Madison (gently caress Cup plate races) and they went all 100 laps of the Joe Shear Classic under green. Really, they did.

Also, Johnny Sauter finished 2nd after having to start at the rear of the 23 car field (another 10 laps and he would have won.). He would have started near the front, but after the race, he admitted to "not knowing the rules at this track" which stated he had to go through tech after finishing 3rd in his heat. He said "I already went through tech twice today, so why would I have to do it a third time?"

edit: almost forgot, for those here the winner was someone you may be familiar with

The front straight fence at Daytona was altered after the Larson crash in 2013(?) and the new grandstand was pushed further back during the renovation. So, things seemed to hold up in the Dillion accident

What the hell is going on in NASCAR Twitterland? Michael Waltrip called Pete Pistone out for being a "Chicago DJ" and Dave Goddamn Moody attempted a face-turn when he and Jim Noble both jumped him for it.

Then Jim Noble and Clint Bowyer's spotter got into it over the costs of the sport culminating with Noble telling him "Enjoy finishing 37th next week.", which is totally out of character for him. :stare:
